Hovering over the equator, 600 miles from the coast of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands is a world within itself. All creatures that inhabit these islands are found absolutely nowhere else on earth, and have developed unique adaptations that distinguish themselves and help them survive in this unique ecosystem. With no natural enemies present, the animals throughout the Galapagos Islands have evolved no fear of humans or other animals, making them remarkably tame, not to mention photogenic!
